The Knowledge Mashup
It’s the world according to YOU. It’s about you getting the information you want want when you want it. It’s about accessing content from open and collaborative sources, then filtering and focusing that content to meet unique documentation, training, and other educational needs.

Data Integration and the Semantic Web
Tim Berners-Lee discusses:
